Joppa Flats to present “The Arts and the Experience of Nature”

Wednesday

ABOUT THE EVENT: “The Arts and the Experience of Nature” will feature three presenters, including Barbara Bodengraven, a Topsfield author whose book about creating a transcendent space on the North Shore has received national attention; Jennifer Day, a Newburyport artist whose recent show, “Small Business” at Boston’s Bromfield Gallery, featured her sculptures of three-dimensional miniature worlds crafted from natural materials; and Lainie Senechal, Amesbury’s first poet laureate, who will share her nature-oriented poems that she wrote during her residency. The program will conclude with an open mic, in which members of the audience are invited to read a favorite nature-oriented poem, two minutes or shorter in length.
